ESPN’s “most comprehensive” MegaCast yet has 20 different feeds, including five Voices options

The MegaCast is back, and it’s bigger than ever. ESPN started the college football national championship MegaCast idea for the 2014 BCS title game with eight different feeds, has used it forthethree college football playoff national championship games since, has rolled smaller versions of it out for thesemifinals and even a season opener, and now plans to offer 20 different productions for Monday’s Georgia-Alabama title game (up from 14 last year) in a MegaCast they’re calling the “most comprehensive to date.” Here’s a look at some of what’s on tap:

Five different Voices productions will air simultaneously on ESPNU (with sound jumping around location to location Red Zone-style), with individual feeds on ESPN3: The “Voices” shows have often produced some of the weirdest and most entertaining parts of the MegaCast, thanks to the likes of Jay Bilas, Teddy Atlas and Bill Walton. While those three haven’t been specifically named yet, there are still names to be announced, and there are some big names that have already been added to this year’s roster. And ESPN’s now doing this with five different shows with very different flavors. Here’s a look at the five on tap.

The Dan Le Batard Show: Dan Le Batard and Stugotz will be joined by their normal cast of their radio program, broadcasting live from their radio studio, inside the Clevelander hotel

SportsCenter: ESPN personalities and guests from SportsCenter including Scott Van Pelt, who will be pulling double-duty as he will be simultaneously preparing for his own SportsCenter, which will air following the game

NFL Live: Wendi Nix will host and be joined by former LSU safety Ryan Clark, Boston College quarterback Tim Hasselbeck and Pitt safety Louis Riddick from their traditional studio in Bristol, Conn.

ESPN at LA Live: Rachel Nichols, along with Amin Elhassan, LZ Granderson, and Anita Marks will be at ESPN’s Los Angeles based studios

The Cool Room-NYC: A number of ESPN personalities, to be announced at a later date, will watch the game from the ABC Times Square studios in New York

ESPNU will feature all five shows and the game in a “a six quadrant viewing experience,” so viewers there will always be able to see all the feeds, but will have sound jump around from feed to feed. Those looking to watch one specific Voices production can do so through streaming options on ESPN3 and the ESPN app.

Pat Fitzgerald, Mike Bobo and Kevin Sumlin (plus others to be announced) will be on the ESPNews Coaches’ Film Room: The regular Coaches’ Film Room has become one of the most popular segments of these broadcasts, with active or recently-active coaches discussing certain plays, players, coaches in the game and more. This year’s version will feature Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, Colorado State coach (and former Georgia player and offensive coordinator) Mike Bobo, and former Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin. And “additional coaches will be added throughout the weekend.” Plus, there are limited commercial breaks on this broadcast, allowing the coaches to get in more points.

Landon Collins and Aaron Murray will be on the Homers Telecast on ESPN2: The “Homers Telecast” is back for a third year, with former players from each school calling the game from field level alongside ESPN play-by-play analysts.. Former Alabama safety Landon Collins, now of the New York Giants (and of the “cancer” comments about teammate Eli Apple) will be the designated Crimson Tide homer, pairing with Joe Tessitore. Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray (who joined CBS as a college football analyst this season) will be the designated Bulldogs homer, pairing with Adam Amin.

The Finebaum Film Room returns to SEC Network, with Greg McElroy and Gene Chizik: ESPN will again be providing a broadcast of Paul Finebaum watching the game and taking calls, which should be particularly entertaining given this all-SEC matchup. He’ll be joined by two regular SEC Network analysts, former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy and former Auburn coach Gene Chizik.

Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Tom Rinaldi and Maria Taylor will call the main broadcast on ESPN: Fowler and Herbstreit are working their fourth-straight national championship, as is Rinaldi (who will be reporting on the Alabama sidelines). Taylor is making her national championship debut following her first season as the regular reporter for ABC primetime telecasts with Fowler and Herbstreit (she replaced Sam Ponder, who moved to NFL hosting duties).

There will be a whole lot of cameras: From the release:

ESPN will have more than 110 cameras inside the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including utilizing more than 80 for the College Football Playoff National Championship. ESPN’s state-of-the-art production will feature two never-before-used camera angles for a national championship game: First-and-10 marker cam and the Dual SkyCam System.

The first-and-10 cam is a camera inside the first down marker, providing viewers a look at the line to gain. ESPN first utilized the unique camera angle at the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Dual SkyCam System uses a second SkyCam, positioned higher than the traditional SkyCam, providing viewers two different vantage points from, typically, behind-the-offense. Both of the SkyCam’s individual feeds will be available as part of the MegaCast production (see below).

Additional Production Highlights:

Super Slow Motion Cameras: Nine cameras that can slow down the game to any speed, allowing for precise views of critical plays and shots to demonstrate the emotion of the game

Pylon Cams: All eight pylons will be equipped with four cameras, allowing for camera angles along the goal line, sideline and backline.

Replays: More than 35 replay machines

Inside the Locker Rooms: Cameras affixed inside the locker room anteroom area will provide unique access as Georgia and Alabama come-and-go from the field.

Other broadcasts: ESPN Classic has a Sounds of the Game option again (no announcers, just in-stadium sound), while ESPN Goal Line will have “Command Center” (multiple camera feeds at once, which could include the main angle, the SkyCam angles, and the cameras dedicated to each head coach). Both of those options will also be streaming on ESPN3.

And there are plenty of streaming-only options, including individual SkyCam feeds, hometown radio calls synced with the main broadcast’s visuals, an all-22 feed, and a “data center” feed with “On-screen graphic content ranging from analytics, real time drive charts, win probability updates, curated social media reaction and more.” That will include the ESPN Radio call from Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge, Holly Rowe, and Ian Fitzsimmons, which is also available separately in the app. And ESPN Deportes and ESPN Deportes Radio will have Spanish-language broadcasts.
